Hey guys, one more thing. This summer when you’re being inundated by all the American bicentennial fourth of July brouhaha. Don’t forget what you’re celebrating and that’s the fact that a bunch of slave owning aristocratic white males didn’t want to pay their taxes.
- Dazed and Confused
So now that I only work Monday - Wednesday, the weekend seems to come early (although it isn’t really the weekend until Mike gets home on Friady night.) Anyway, this week has been tough - James has been under the weather with a fever the last two nights - so I’m hoping to catch up on some sleep tomorrow. Then we head to Philly for my big race of the season - an olympic distance triathlon. I’m looking forward to it but a little nervous because my training has been less than optimal. It will be a fun weekend though - we’re staying with friends and I should have nice crew of people cheering me on.
What are the rest of you up to?
Oh, and it is ages away but the three of us will be in Chicago the weekend of October 3rd. My friends Annette and Will are getting married on the Saturday night but we’re staying until Monday so hopefully will get to see you all. We’re still sad we missed Son of Beachwalk :(
I’ve decided to take the Infinite Summer challenge. Last week, I pulled down Infinite Jest from it’s hiding place on the top shelf of our bookshelf, blew all the dust off and grimaced when I flipped to my bookmark - representing my last attempt to read it - on page 234.
I was pretty saddened by DFW death several months ago and have spent a lot of time reading his essays and book reviews.
Anyone else up for the challenge?
Saturday was nice. Yes, I’m aware that it was raining cats and dogs in the morning. However, by the afternoon the sun was out and it was warming up. L., Mr. I and I walked to the lake and then ran for a bit. We also stopped at a playground so he could have some fun - sitting in a stroller with your parents running isn’t fun, apparently.
Sunday, L. had to go to a wedding shower so it was me and Mr. I for most of the day.
